Deseret Book publishes and sells books and other products, with a particular focus on members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Its company overview describes both retail operations and publishing imprints. Those activities place it on two sides of the book business, creating content and bringing products to readers. [1]

The company traces its roots to George Q. Cannon’s publishing and bookstore work beginning in 1866. Its history includes Salt Lake City locations that connect the current brand with the city’s publishing trade. Today’s mix of content and lifestyle products extends that role beyond a conventional bookstore shelf. [1]
